Two monitors?

Does anyone know of a game that can successfully utilize two monitors under Win 98?

Microsoft Flight Simulator does. I don`t know which versions do, but if you go for the latest one you should be OK.

How do you best hook up two monitors to make it work?

I only know that it for sure works with Windows 98. I have heard that XP will support it though (?). It might work with other OS, too.

But with 98 it really isn't that hard, in fact all it takes is a second monitor and video card driver.

you just need a 20£ PCI card to make it work... and just enable the feature in display properties.

I think that only XP Professional supports two monitors, the personal version does not.

as for the games? OK the flight simulator is one. Any other?

Just to reviwe the question, can any game use two monitors effectivley apart from MS flight simulator?

And if it can how can you enable it?

I can't say for sure, but there may be some of the older DOS Games that do since that was one of the features of DOS until about version 5 or 6. It used to be able to support 2 video cards in the same box, usually a monochrome and a CGA or a Hercules was the common setup. Or, at least it was in Europe.
